Profile:
An efficient gloveman and proficient batsman in the lower order
Goonatilleke was Sri Lanka's wicketkeeper during its initial
foray into the Test arena. An accomplished player, Goonatilleke
had established his position in the side leading up to the Sri
Lanka's test debut. His performances at test level were
promising, as he was a capable performer behind the wickets
comfortable against pace or spin. With the bat he provided great
resistance producing some handy performances. Such was his
ability he was asked to open the batting in the second Test at
Faisalabad. He performed admirably scoring 27 in the first
innings and then top scoring with 57 in the second innings,
providing stoic resistance as the batting capitulated around him.
Sri Lanka were robbed of a quality player when he disappointingly
opted to tour South Africa in 1982/83 in effect ending his Test
career prematurely.
(Johann P Jayasekera , Sep 1999)
